Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah...
I used to think love had to hurt
Had to chase it just to make it work
Then God showed me different
[Verse 1]
I knew the kind that kept me guessing
Late-night calls and mixed-up messages
Calling chaos something special
Ignoring every warning signal
I used to chase what wouldn't stay
Lose a little more of me each day
Thought butterflies meant it was right
Even when I couldn't sleep at night
Then you came without the games
Never had to question where I stand
You didn't promise me perfection
You just reached and took my hand
And somehow peace came with you
Something I wasn't used to
No running, no hiding
No wondering what you're gonna do
[Pre-Chorus]
I asked God to change my heart
He changed what I was looking for
I thought I knew what love was
Till He showed me something more
[Chorus]
You're the love God sent me
Right when I stopped chasing
Love that feels like peace
Not something I've gotta keep saving
You don't pull me from my faith
You make me wanna seek Him more
You're the love God sent me
And now I know what I was waiting for
No games, no maybe
No loving me halfway
You're the love God sent me
And I thank Him every day
[Verse 2]
We still disagree sometimes
Still get tired, still cross a line
But we don't throw the word "goodbye"
Every time we have to make things right
We learned love ain't just a feeling
It's staying when the room gets cold
It's saying sorry when you're stubborn
It's choosing us when we get old
You pray for me when I get weary
Tell me truth when I need to hear it
You don't have to be my Savior
You just keep pointing me near Him
That's the difference I can see
You don't compete with God for me
You love the woman/man He's making
Not just who I used to be
[Pre-Chorus]
I asked God to change my heart
He changed what I was looking for
I thought I knew what love was
Till He showed me something more
[Chorus]
You're the love God sent me
Right when I stopped chasing
Love that feels like peace
Not something I've gotta keep saving
You don't pull me from my faith
You make me wanna seek Him more
You're the love God sent me
And now I know what I was waiting for
No games, no maybe
No loving me halfway
You're the love God sent me
And I thank Him every day
[Bridge]
I don't need a perfect story
I don't need a movie scene
Give me somebody who will pray with me
When life ain't what we dreamed
Somebody who knows forever
Is built one day at a time
With God right in the center
Your hand holding mine
And if the road gets heavy
If the money gets tight
If we're sitting in the kitchen
Trying to make the numbers right
We'll remember Who brought us here
We'll remember what love means
Not me against you
But you and me on the same team
[Breakdown]
I used to pray,
"God, send me somebody."
Then I learned to pray,
"God, make me ready."
And somewhere between
the healing and the waiting...
He sent me you.
[Final Chorus]
You're the love God sent me
After everything I learned
Not a fire that destroys me
But a steady flame that burns
You don't pull me from my faith
You make me wanna seek Him more
You're the love God sent me
Now I know what I was waiting for
Through the good days, hard days
Every season that may change
You're the love God sent me
And I'll thank Him all my days
[Outro]
Love don't always have to hurt
Peace can feel like love too
I asked God for something real...
And He sent me you.
